Another question about my "Decent" Machine

Swyfteblade · Feb 14, 2006, 09:26 AM

Thanks for all the help in pointing me in the right direction on my previous post.
All the replies and opinions were really appreciated.

Now i have another dilemma to work out and maybe ya'll would be interested in helping me out a little more. I still have yet to acquire the parts for my new pc but am in the final stages of securing the finances.

Anyways, I was thinking of using my pc as the center of my home entertainment system as well as it's primary purpose of being a gaming machine. So i was thinking of connecting my computer to a 27+ inch widescreen hdtv. I found this one and was wondering if anyone had done this or seen one in action that worked well.

that one is the one i am thinking would work great + right now it comes with a free 17 inch lcd.

Another quick question, if i don't plan on overclocking much would you reccomend the opteron 165 or athlon x2. As i said in my other post i am not sure where to begin with overclocking and am still kinda shaky on the whole subject.

Do a little more research on overclocking, there are some great tutorials and pleny of posts on the forums here. If you don't know what you are doing you run a great risk of damaging components.
